Barbecue, barn dance to raise funds for Harmony Ranch

SAN ANDREAS — Harmony Ranch, a nonprofit horsemanship program that offers recreational therapeutic services, is holding its third annual barn dance and barbecue to raise funds.

The ranch offers therapeutic services to children and adults with or without special needs.

By working with horses, clients gain self-esteem and learn to trust, among other benefits.

The dance is slated for 5-10 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6, at the Ranch House at Calaveras County Fairgrounds. It is the largest fundraiser of the year for the group.

Admission of $25 will get attendees a chicken or tri-tip dinner, and they can participate in both silent and live auctions, a raffle and cupcake bake-off. The musical group Plan B will provide entertainment.
